Noblemania: Trying to landmark a Bill Finger building in NYC: There is no permanent tribute to Batman in New York, the city in which he was created. As far as I know, there is no tribute to any superhero in New York, the city in which many of them were created—the unofficial superhero capital of the world.

UPDATE : AMC has POSTED A RETRACTION saying the following: "The information in this post has been retracted until further notice. Please refer to Warner Bros. for any information about THE DARK KNIGHT RISES."

/Film has posted an interesting rumor that WarnerBros. Pictures is planning on showing an eight-minute prologue for The Dark Knight Rises with Paramount Pictures' early release of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol in IMAX theaters on December 16 (the film has its general release on Dec. 21).
It would be a similar situation as The Dark Knight, from which Warner Bros. attached the opening sequence to the Will Smith hit I Am Legend in IMAX theaters in December of 2007.

With the release Tuesday of Batman: Arkham City, the highly anticipated sequel to the bestselling 2009 video game Arkham Asylum, Mark Hamill bid farewell to the Joker, a character he’s been associated with for nearly two decades.
“Hello/Goodbye Joker!” the Star Wars actor wrote this morning on Twitter. “I’ve enjoyed every minute behind the wheel of the Crown Prince’s crazy car — I’m going to miss him more than I can say!!”

Rumor? WB and DC looking ahead for a BATMAN reboot after Nolan is finished telling his story...................."The [Batman film] franchise will be in much better shape when [Christopher] Nolan’s done next year than it was back in ‘97,” says this particular FOBOF. “[THE DARK KNIGHT] RISES will certainly leave the audience wanting more Batman on film…that wasn’t the case after BATMAN AND ROBIN.” With THE DARK KNIGHT RISES being a true trilogy and “ending” Batman on film in terms of Mr. Nolan’s Bat-Universe and continuity, we’re talking reboot. “That’s the plan,” so says our source. “[Warner Bros.’ Chief Jeff] Robinov has already said as much…you know, that stuff with [Christopher] Nolan and Emma [Thomas] producing. The interesting thing here is how long will they wait before launching the next Batman trilogy -- and I’m quite sure they’ll want another [a trilogy].”
